Some applications of user equipment (UE) may communicate large amounts of data via wireless communication systems. However, in some wireless communication systems, the UE may not know whether the delivered data is associated with the same data group unless the data is packetized. For example, an application running on a UE may communicate data over a wireless communication system using data packets or a group of data packets. An application on the receiving UE may recognize the communicated data as a group of data packets and, in some examples, may jointly consume or process data included in the group of data packets simultaneously. For example, applications can jointly consume or process data packets within a group. However, in some wireless communication systems, transmitting data packets or groups of data packets may be associated with relatively high latency, high power consumption, and may be inefficient. For example, processing data packets or groups of data packets using packet aggregation (eg, generating data packets or groups of data packets) can increase overhead and complexity.

In some wireless communication systems, signaling information (e.g., header, group header information) may be used to provide data recognition and parameter recognition for data carried in a group of data packets. For example, in some wireless communication systems, signaling may be communicated to indicate parameters such as delay budget on the control path and error rate on the control path for a group of data packets. Techniques may be needed to communicate relatively large amounts of data along with data-related parameters (e.g., boundaries, error rates, delay budgets) without aggregating the data into data packets. Various aspects of the present disclosure may support a UE configured to aggregate data bits into groups of data bits that are relevant to the UE's application. The UE may transmit a group of data bits to a network device, such as an EDGE server, another UE, or a base station in a wireless communication system based on a bit PDU session established between the UE and the network device. The UE may aggregate data bits into data bit groups. In some examples, the UE may aggregate data bits without packetization (eg, without packetizing the data bits into data packets or groups of data packets).

A data bit group (eg, data bit group) may be included in a bit group PDU. Bit group PDUs may contain protocol-specific control information and user data. For example, a bit group PDU may include a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group, payload) and a header associated with the group of data bits. The header may contain information related to the transfer of a group of data bits. The header may include protocol layer information and group header information. Protocol layer information may be associated with a PDU session. For example, protocol layer information may include transport layer information related to transmitting a group of data bits. Group header information may include QoS parameters related to the group of data bits.

QoS parameters may include error rates associated with groups of data bits. In some examples, QoS parameters may include a delay budget associated with a group of data bits. In some other examples, QoS parameters may include timing information related to maintaining a group of data bits, such as a discard timer. The discard timer associated with a group of data bits is the period from entry of the group of bits at a given node (e.g. a 5G node) until the group of bits is deemed not needed for transmission if it has not already been transmitted (e.g. , time) may be included. In another example, QoS parameters may include content policy information associated with a group of data bits. Content policy information may indicate a bit priority associated with a group of data bits.

Aspects of the subject matter described herein may be implemented to realize one or more advantages. The described techniques may assist in improving spectral efficiency and reliability, among other benefits. In some aspects, aggregating a group of data bits and communicating the same over a network without packetization (e.g., without packetizing the data bits into data packets or groups of data packets) causes overhead in the transmitting and receiving devices. and complexity can be advantageously reduced. In some other aspects, the described techniques may provide reduced latency and reduced power consumption.

Aspects of the present disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communication system. Examples of processes and signaling exchanges that support group-based wireless communication are described next. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to device diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts related to group-based wireless communications.

Wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof. .

Base stations 105 may be scattered throughout a geographic area to form wireless communication system 100 and may be devices of different types or with different capabilities. Base stations 105 and UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 in which UEs 115 and the base station 105 may establish one or more communication links 125 . Coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area in which base station 105 and UE 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access techniques.

UEs 115 may be scattered throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, mobile, or both at different times. UEs 115 may be devices of different types or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1 . UEs 115 described herein may be connected to other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, repeater devices, integrated It may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment.

Base stations 105 may communicate with core network 130 and with each other or both. For example, base stations 105 may interface with core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interface). Base stations 105 may connect directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105) via backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interface), or indirectly (e.g., may communicate with each other (e.g., via core network 130) or both. In some examples, backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links. One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may be a base transceiver station, a wireless base station, an access point, a wireless transceiver station, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a Next-Generation NodeB, or a Giga-NodeB (any of which may be referred to as a gNB). may include or may be referred to by those skilled in the art as home NodeB, home eNodeB, or other suitable terms.

UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where “device” also includes, among other examples. , may also be referred to as a unit, station, terminal, or client. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or include a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device, among other examples. , which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, instruments, among other examples. UEs 115 described herein may be network equipment and base stations 105, including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or repeater base stations, among other examples, as shown in FIG. 1 ) as well as other UEs 115 that may sometimes act as repeaters.

UEs 115 and base stations 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 across one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources with a defined physical layer structure to support communication links 125. For example, the carrier used for communication link 125 may be a radio operating on one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). It may also include a portion of a frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation on the carrier, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 may support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers depending on the carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers.

Signal waveforms transmitted on a carrier (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spreading OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)) on multiple subcarriers. It may be composed of: In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. . The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (eg, the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Accordingly, the more resource elements and higher order of the modulation scheme that UE 115 receives, the higher the data rate may be for UE 115. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), where the use of multiple spatial layers provides data for communication with UE 115. It is also possible to further increase the rate or data integrity.

Time intervals for base stations 105 or UEs 115 are expressed in multiples of the basic time unit, which may refer to a sampling period of, for example, T _s = 1/(Δf _max ·N _f ) seconds. may be, where Δf _max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing and N _f may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communication resource may be organized into wireless frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each wireless frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023). Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into multiple slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, with the number of slots depending on the subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (eg, depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, a slot may be further divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may include one or more (e.g., N _f ) sampling periods. The duration of the symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation. A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the minimum scheduling unit of wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

Physical channels may be multiplexed on the carrier according to various techniques. The physical control channel and physical data channel are multiplexed on the downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. It could be. A control region (e.g., control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend over the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control areas (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search control areas for control information according to one or more search space sets, each search space set comprising one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascade manner. may include one or multiple control channel candidates. The aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format with a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 and UE-specific search space sets configured for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

Base station 105 may be mobile and, therefore, provide communications coverage for a moving geographic coverage area 110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. Wireless communication system 100 may include a heterogeneous network, for example, where different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different wireless access technologies. there is.

UE 115 also communicates directly with other UEs 115 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol) via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 It might be possible. One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105 . Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105 or may otherwise be unable to receive transmissions from base station 105 . In some examples, groups of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 is connected to every other UE 115 in the group. send to In some examples, base station 105 facilitates scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without involvement of the base station 105.

Core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which includes at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects them to external networks. It may also include a planar function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with core network 130. there is. User IP packets may be transmitted through a user plane entity that may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. A user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranet(s), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet switched streaming service.

Core network 130 may include data servers, cloud servers, servers associated with multimedia subscription providers, proxy servers, web servers, application servers, communication servers, home servers, mobile servers, or any combination thereof. The server may optionally include a multimedia distribution platform. Servers may include EDGE servers. The multimedia distribution platform may provide digital distribution of multimedia from the multimedia distribution platform by allowing UEs 115 to discover, browse, share, and download multimedia over core network 130 using communication links 125. . In this way, digital distribution can be a form of delivering media content such as audio, video, and images through online delivery media such as the Internet without using physical media. For example, the base station 105 or UE 115 may upload or download multimedia-related applications, for example, for streaming, downloading, uploading, processing, enhancement, etc. of multimedia (e.g., images, audio, video). You can. The server may also transmit various information to the UE 115, such as an instruction or command (eg, multimedia-related information) for downloading a multimedia-related application or data to the UE 115.

Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may use licensed assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band, such as the 5 GHz Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. may also be employed. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands (e.g., LAA) may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration with component carriers operating in a licensed band. Operations in the unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

Base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. It may also be used. The antennas of base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that may support MIMO operations, or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located in an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with base station 105 may be located in various geographic locations. Base station 105 may have an antenna array with multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that base station 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with UE 115. Likewise, UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted through the antenna port.

Wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communication at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate on logical channels. The medium access control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also improve link efficiency by using error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer establishes, configures, and maintains an RRC connection between the UE 115 and the core network 130 or base station 105 supporting radio bearers for user plane data. may also be provided. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

UEs 115 and base stations 105 may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data will be successfully received. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data will be received accurately over communications link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (eg, low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular slot for data received in the previous symbol in the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.

UE 115 may aggregate data bits into groups of data bits that are related to an application of UE 115. UE 115 sends a group of data bits to a network device, such as an EDGE server of wireless communication system 100, another UE 115, or base station 105 based on a bit PDU session established between UE 115 and the network device. Can be transmitted (or transmitted). In some aspects, UE 115 may aggregate data bits into data bit groups. In some examples, UE 115-a may aggregate data bits without packetization (eg, without packetizing the data bits into data packets or groups of data packets). In some aspects, a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits) may be included in a bit group PDU. Bit group PDUs may contain protocol-specific control information and user data. For example, a bit group PDU may include a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group, payload) and a header associated with the group of data bits. The header may contain information related to the transfer of a group of data bits. The header may include protocol layer information and group header information. Protocol layer information may be associated with a PDU session. For example, protocol layer information may include transport layer information related to transmitting a group of data bits. Group header information may include QoS parameters related to the group of data bits.

2 illustrates an example of data transmission 200 supporting group-based wireless communication in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, data transmission 200 may be implemented by aspects of wireless communication system 100 and may be implemented by UE 115, server, or base station 105 described with reference to FIG. 1 . In some wireless communication systems, an application on a UE 115 may use a data packet 210 (or group of data packets 210) to transmit data over the wireless communication system 100 (and to another UE ( 115) can receive). In some systems, transmitting a data packet 210 (or group of data packets 210) can involve relatively high latency, high power consumption, increased overhead, and increased complexity (e.g., packet aggregation). For example, it may involve the creation of a data packet 210). In an example, some systems may transmit a group of data bits (herein referred to as a data bit group) as a group 210 of data packets.

For example, in some wireless communication systems, UE 115 may generate data burst 230, data burst 235, and data burst 240. Each data burst (e.g., data burst 230) contains data (e.g., a data file, data bits). For example, each data burst (e.g., data burst 230) may include a data bit (or data file) generated within the temporal duration of another data bit (or data file). In one example, UE 115 may generate and transmit a data burst 230, which may include a group of data bits 215-a and a group of data bits 215-b. Each of the data bit group 215-a and data bit group 215-b may include a number of data packets 210. That is, in some systems, the data bits included in the data bit group 215-a may be aggregated into the data packet 210 (e.g., through packetization) and may be stored in the data bit group 215-b. The included data bits may be aggregated (e.g., through packetization) into data packets 210. Additionally, in some systems, UE 115 may transmit data burst 235 (including data bit groups 220-a through 220-c) and data burst 240 (including data bit group 225). can be created and transmitted. In some systems, an application on a device (e.g., UE 115) may create data groups 215 that include larger “chunks” (e.g., multiple data packets 210) compared to individual data packets 210. -a)) data can be consumed. For example, a video frame may correspond to a burst of data (e.g., data burst 230), or a slice of a video frame may correspond to a burst of data (e.g., data burst 230).

In some examples, UE 115 may store a group of data bits (e.g., data bits) associated with an application on UE 115 without packetization (e.g., without packetizing the data bits into data packets 210). Data bits can be aggregated into groups (215-a). For example, the UE 115 may group data bits without packetizing them into data packets 210 (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 215-a). It can be aggregated into bit groups 220-a, data bit groups 220-c, and data bit groups 225). In some examples, each group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a through data bit group 220-c, A data bit group 225 may be referred to as a “chunk” of data, a payload, or a data bit group. Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless communication system 100 includes each data bit group (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a) Parameters associated with data bit groups 220-c, data bit groups 225, such as boundaries, delay budgets, and error rates associated with each data bit group may be provided. The techniques described herein may have an advantage over some systems that provide awareness of parameters associated with each data packet 210, such as packet boundaries, packet delay budget, and packet error rate.

Groups of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c, data bit group ( By communicating data as 225), wireless communication system 100 can provide improved communication for power-constrained communication. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may transmit a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a) between a UE 115, a base station 105, or a server in time-consecutive ON slots. Bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c, data bit group 225) can be transmitted. In some examples, such techniques can maximize modem OFF time at the transmitting device or receiving device (e.g., UE 115, base station 105, or server), which can reduce power consumption. In some other aspects, data bit groups (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c, data These techniques for conveying a group of bits (225) without packetization can reduce the latency associated with transmitting and receiving data compared to communicating the same using data packets (210).

Groups of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c, data bit group ( Communicating 225)) without packetization can reduce processing overhead and increase throughput compared to communicating the same using data packets 210. For example, communicating data bits via data packet 210 may result in the transmission of redundant information (e.g., data packet 210 may convey redundant information). In contrast, groups of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c, data Communicating data bits without packetization through bit groups 225 can reduce or alleviate the amount of redundant information. The UE 115 is responsible for the amount of data bits consumed by an application on the UE 115 or by an application on a device receiving the group of data bits (e.g., another UE 115, base station 105, server). Based on each group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 215-a, data bit group 215-b, data bit group 220-a to data bit group 220-c), data bit group (225)) can be determined. For example, UE 115 may configure each data bit group (e.g., data bit group (e.g., data bit group (e.g., The size of 215-a)) can be determined.

In some examples, wireless communication system 300 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100, such as the examples of UE 115, base station 105, and server 305, respectively, described with reference to FIG. 1 may include a UE 115-a, a base station 105-a, and a server 305. The server may be an EDGE server, for example. FIG. 3B shows an example of a header 315 and a group of data bits 320 (or payload) supporting group-based wireless communication in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. As discussed with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B, UE 115-a aggregates data bits into data bit groups (e.g., data bit groups 320) associated with applications on UE 115-a. can do. UE 115-a sends a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320) to a network device, such as a server 305, another UE 115, or base station 105-a of wireless communication system 300. ) can be transmitted (or transmitted). In some aspects, UE 115-a transmits a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320) based on a bit group PDU session established between UE 115-a and the network device. (or transmit). In one example, wireless communication system 300 transmits data bits over communication link 125 (e.g., communication link 125-a, communication link 125-b) as described with reference to FIG. Transmission of groups (e.g., data bit groups 320) may be supported.

In some examples of bit group PDU sessions, communication link 125-a is connected to a server 305 (e.g., an EDGE server) and a base station 105-a (e.g., associated with 5G infrastructure or future generation infrastructure). It can provide a communication link between In some examples, communication link 125-b is connected to base station 105-a (e.g., associated with 5G infrastructure or future generation infrastructure) and UE 115-a (e.g., associated with 5G infrastructure or future generation infrastructure). (related to) can provide a communication link between In some aspects, UE 115-a may aggregate data bits into groups of data bits without packetization (e.g., without packetizing the data bits into data packets or groups of data packets). . That is, UE 115-a may refrain from packetizing a data bit group (e.g., may refrain from packetizing data bits within data bit group 320). In some examples, a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320) may be referred to as a “chunk” or payload of data. In some aspects, a group of data bits (e.g., For example, a data bit group 320 may support relatively large data sizes (e.g., up to 500 kilobytes (KB)).

In some aspects, a transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305) may refrain from fragmenting (e.g., packetizing) a group of data bits, e.g., at the network layer. there is. In some other aspects, a transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305) may packetize a group of data bits, e.g., at an L1 network layer and an L2 network layer. In one example, the size of a group of data bits may exceed a threshold for transmitting a group of data bits over communication link 125 (e.g., communication link 125-a, communication link 125-b). You can. A transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305) may fragment the data bit group into multiple RLC packets and attach a set of L2 headers to the data bit group. In one example, a transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305) may transmit bits (e.g., an RLC packet and corresponding L2 header) over communication link 125. there is.

In some aspects, a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320) may be included in bit group PDU 310. Bit group PDU 310 may be different from other PDU types. For example, bit group PDU 310 may be different from Ethernet PDU and Internet Protocol (IP) PDU types. Bit group PDU 310 may contain protocol specific control information and user data. For example, bit group PDU 310 may include a header 315 and a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). Header 315 may be associated with a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). For example, header 315 may include information related to the transmission of a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In one example, header 315 may include protocol layer information 325. Protocol layer information 325 may be associated with a bit group PDU session. For example, protocol layer information 325 may include transport layer information related to transmitting a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload).

Header 315 may include group header information 330. In some examples, group header information 330 may include header information for an IP packet, such as IP header information. In some examples, group header information 330 may include header information for real-time transport protocol (RTP), such as RTP header information. In some aspects, group header information 330 is a group of data bits (e.g., via communication link 125-a and communication link 125-b) via wireless communication system 300. For example, it may include routing information for delivering a data bit group (320, payload). In some aspects, group header information 330 includes antenna port identifiers associated with a transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305, base station 105-a, another UE 115). (or antenna port numbers). In some aspects, group header information 330 may include a stream identifier that supports multiple streams of data (e.g., streaming data). For example, group header information 330 may include identifiers each associated with data bits of a data bit group (eg, data bit group 320, payload).

Group header information 330 may include timing information associated with a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). For example, timing information may include timestamps associated with data included in a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In one example, a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) may include video information (e.g., video frame) or audio information (e.g., audio file). . In some examples, timing information may include a timestamp associated with video information or audio information. Group header information 330 may include QoS parameters associated with a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In some aspects, QoS parameters may be applied to different groups of data bits (e.g., different data bit groups 320) over wireless communication system 300 (e.g., via communication links 125). Different payloads) may also be specified according to the traffic flow template (TFT) associated with communicating them. In some aspects, the TFT may include a mapping of data bit groups (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) to QoS parameters. For example, the TFT may be a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) or data bit groups (e.g., data bit groups 320, payload) to which a set of QoS is applicable. loads) may be included. In an example, UE 115-a may transmit a TFT via group header information 330.

In some aspects, the mapping of a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) to QoS parameters is performed by a transmitting device (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305, It may also be based on antenna port identifiers (or antenna port numbers) associated with the base station 105-a, another UE 115). In some aspects, the mapping may be based on a stream identifier that supports multiple data streams. For example, the mapping may be based on identifiers each associated with the data bits of a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In some aspects, the mapping of data bit groups (e.g., data bit groups 320, payloads) to QoS parameters is ) can be based on the routing address associated with each of the data bits. In some other aspects, the mapping may be based on a type (e.g., data type) each associated with a data bit of a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In some examples, QoS parameters may include an error rate 335 associated with a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In one example, error rate 335 is a measure of a group of data bits (e.g., data bits) received in error by a network device (e.g., server 305, another UE 115, base station 105-a). It can represent the amount of group (320, payload). In another example, QoS parameters may include a delay budget 340 associated with a group of data bits.

Error rate 335 is a measure of whether a group of data bits (e.g., group of data bits 320, payload) is received outside of delay budget 340 (e.g., after an instance of time exceeding delay budget 340). , a group of data bits (e.g., It can represent the amount of data bit group 320 (payload). In some aspects, delay budget 340 may include a delay between UE-Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and User Plane Function (UPF). In some examples, for a delay budget 340 associated with a group of data bits (e.g., group of data bits 320, payload), UE 115-a (or server 305, base station 105-a) a) or any network device of the wireless communication system 300, such as another UE 115), selects a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits 320, payload) to satisfy the delay budget 340. You can target different delays (e.g., different delay budgets) for different data bits within.

UE 115-a may set a target to adapt to the error rate 335, where the error rate 335 is the number of data bit groups (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) received in error. Indicates quantity. In one example, UE 115-a may set a target for transmitting or retransmitting a group of data bits (e.g., group of data bits 320, payload) based on error rate 335. For example, UE 115-a may set one or more RLC parameters based on error rate 335. In some examples, UE 115-a may transmit or retransmit a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) based on the RLC parameter. In one example, UE 115-a sends a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320) to a network device (e.g., server 305, another UE 115, base station 105-a). ), payload) can also be transmitted. UE 115-a may receive feedback information (e.g., a positive acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (e.g., a positive acknowledgment (ACK)) from a network device associated with the transmission of a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). HARQ feedback such as NACK) can be received. In one example, UE 115-a may determine whether the amount of data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) satisfies error rate 335. For example, based on the feedback information, UE 115-a may determine the amount of data bit groups (e.g., data bit groups 320, payload) received in error by the network device as error rate 335. It can be determined that it exceeds .

UE 115-a determines that one or more groups of data bits (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320) were received in error by the network device (e.g., as indicated by a feedback message from the network device). , payload) can be transmitted (or retransmitted) to the network device. In one example, UE 115-a determines whether the amount of data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) included in the transmission (or retransmission) satisfies the error rate 335. You can decide. The UE 115-a may again transmit (or retransmit) one or more groups of data bits (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320, payload). For example, the UE 115-a may select one or more groups of data bits (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320, payload) based on whether the group of one or more data bits satisfies the error rate 340. (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320, payload) may be retransmitted. In some other aspects, UE 115-a may set a target for adapting delay budget 340 with reference to a measurement window (e.g., duration). For example, UE 115-a may transmit a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) to a network device (e.g., server 305, another UE 115, base station (e.g., 105-a)), a target for transmitting (or retransmitting) a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits 320, payload) can be set based on whether it is received within the delay budget 340. there is. In one example, UE 115-a may transmit or retransmit a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) to a network device.

In one example, UE 115-a determines whether the amount of data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) satisfies delay budget 340 during the measurement window (e.g., duration). You can decide whether to do it or not. For example, the UE 115-a may be configured to network It may be determined that the delay budget 340 was received by the device. In an example, UE 115-a may determine that one or more data bit groups (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) exceed a delay budget (e.g., after a time instance exceeds delay budget 340). (340) Feedback information (eg, HARQ feedback) indicating whether it has been received by a network device from the outside may be received.

UE 115-a may transmit (or retransmit) one or more groups of data bits (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320, payload) received outside of delay budget 340 to the network device. there is. In one example, UE 115-a determines whether the amount of a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) included in a transmission (or retransmission) is received outside of delay budget 340. You can decide whether or not. For example, UE 115-a may determine that one or more groups of transmitted (or retransmitted) data bits (e.g., data bit groups 320, payload) are configured to determine (e.g., delay budget 340) Feedback information (e.g., HARQ feedback) may be received indicating whether it was received by a network device outside of the delay budget 340 (after a time instance exceeding it). UE 115-a may transmit (or retransmit) one or more groups of data bits (e.g., one or more groups of data bits 320, payload), again based on the indication.

In some aspects, QoS parameters may include timing information associated with a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). Timing information may include a discard time 345 associated with maintaining a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In one example, a receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305) that receives a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) , other UEs 115) may select a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) based on whether the data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) is received beyond the discard time 345. Group 320 (payload) can be discarded. In one example, a receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, another UE 115) exceeds delay budget 340, e.g., discard time. A group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) may be maintained in the queue until 345. For example, the duration of discard time 345 may be greater than the duration of delay budget 340. Discard time 345 is therefore the period from entry of a group of data bits at a given node (e.g., a 5G node) until the group of data bits is deemed not needed for transmission if it has not already been transmitted (e.g. For example, time) may be included.

For example, a receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, another UE 115) may receive a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320). ), payload) for decoding of a subsequent data bit group (e.g., subsequent data bit group 320, payload) even in cases where the data bit group (e.g., payload) is not available within the delay budget 340. A data bit group (320, payload) can be maintained. For example, a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) may be received after delay budget 340, and a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320 ), payload) may not be available for display at the receiving device. A receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, other UE 115) receives intra coded frames (I-frames) and predicted frames (P-frames). ) may retain video data (e.g., video frame data) to decode subsequent video data, such as inter-frame prediction.

QoS parameters may include content policy information 350 associated with a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In one example, content policy information 350 may indicate bit priorities associated with a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload). In some aspects, UE 115-a assigns a bit priority to data bits of a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) based on the content associated with the data bits. can do. In some examples, content policy information 350 may be used to determine a data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) if all data bits within the data bit group (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) are successfully received. 320, payload) must be maintained by the receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, other UE 115). there is. In some aspects, the policy may be applied to a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) corresponding to a video frame “slice.” In some aspects, a policy may provide error concealment for an entire video frame “slice.”

Content policy information 30 is configured to include a receiving device (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) up to the first data bit that was not successfully received (e.g., received in error). For example, it may include policies that must be maintained by UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, and other UEs 115). In some aspects, the policy requires a decoding device (e.g., a receiving device) to remove data bits of a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) up to the first data bit that is in error. It can be applied to the encoding-decoding mode that maintains. In one example, a decoding device (eg, a receiving device) may include or exclude the first data bit in error from the retained data bits. In some other examples, content policy information 350 may indicate that the error tolerance (e.g., When a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) is transmitted to a receiving device (e.g., UE 115-a, base station 105-a, server 305, another UE 115 )) may include policies that must be maintained. For example, 'X' may be a sub-parameter included in the content policy information 350. In some aspects, the policy applies to example cases where application forward error correction is applied to a group of data bits (e.g., data bit group 320, payload) according to an error tolerance (X%). You can.

One or more of the UE 115-a, server 305, and base station 105-a has a processing point for processing a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits 320, a payload, a “chunk”). It can function as. In some other aspects, one or more of the UE 115-a, server 305, and base station 105-a may receive data packets (e.g., data packets 210 as described with reference to FIG. 2). )) can function as a processing point for processing. In some aspects, as the number of network devices (e.g., UE 115-a, server 305, base station 105-a) increases, latency within wireless communication system 300 may decrease. there is. In an example of communication in wireless communication system 300, data packets (e.g., data packet 210) may be communicated between server 305 and base station 105-a. For example, a data packet (e.g., data packet 210) may be transmitted over communication link 125-a. In some examples, groups of data bits (e.g., data bit groups 320, payloads, “chunks”) may be communicated between base station 105-a and UE 115-a. For example, a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits 320, a payload, a “chunk”) may be transmitted over communication link 125-b. In another example, a group of data bits (e.g., a group of data bits 320, a payload, a “chunk”) to be communicated between server 305, base station 105-a, and UE 115-a. You can.
